Creativity Lesson Three- Your Heart's Desire



“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.” Joanna Macy

Yes, I now realize that yesterday was the first of the month. A part of me is simply in denial about the passing of time but I also have not been hearing much from people concerning the lessons and no one has shared any work with me so I thought maybe there wasn't real interest. I stand corrected. My only request is that you do share the work you are creating. It's good to be part of a community that supports your efforts. Happy creating!


Assignment #3 - Heart’s Desire


In this assignment, we will explore our heart’s desire by making a heart quilt.  You will need to take some time to think about just what you desire (time to get out your journal) then decide how to express it.  Maybe you want a great garden so use floral fabrics and other gardening things to show that desire. Maybe you want to be comfortable with color so make a colorful heart.  Maybe you want to take life more lightly so make a winged heart. Want more organization? You get the idea. It can be as abstract as you want as long as you understand the meaning.




Outing: Think about a place that expresses or helps you get to your heart’s desire. Go there. Make the time. This is important!

  2. I just discovered this and though I haven't done anything yet -- I will, as soon as I finish putting Christmas away. It's February and my spouse thinks it's time.
